Toyota Camry - Popular?

[Rollo]

Given that Toyota employ 142,000 people in the USA and sell a great deal of US manufactured cars. Will the 2007 Camry be accepted by the general public as a car worthy of competing in NASCAR?

I mean, since NASCARs don't bear any real relationship to anything on the road anyway, is this necessarily a problem?

What happens if for instance Waltrip wins a championship with one of the things? Would that go down well?

Help me I'm confused... but at least I'm taking an interest in the sport for the first time really in about 10 years.

The cars themselves are all teh same now, except for the engine and the decals, the cars are all aerodynamically the same.

Toyota will struggle this year, except maybe for Vickers because of their lineup is horrible

"If Waltrip wins a championship" is the troubling part of that statement

Why wouldn't it be?

if a driver owns his own team he cant be fired

Waltrip and championship in the same sentence is an oxymoron. To win a championship he'll need to figure out how to win on something other than a plate track. When his brother was a car owner it didn't help him.

money equals speed + toyota is puting up the money = waltrip could be a chase contender

waltrip first has to qualify as well

I won't be holding my breath waiting for that to happen, money or not.

yep. Michael Waltip is a better driver than people give him credit, but he won't be in the chase.
